Naked Cosmetics Want a truly unique look? Florida-based company Naked Cosmetics is ideal for any DIY aficionados who love to create a custom shade. The Single Color Mineral Pigments, $14.99, "can be used as an eyeshadow, eyeliner, nail polish, or lipstick -- all you need is the mixing medium," says Mae. You can use the products on their own, or blend the pigments with products you already have. Learn how to mix your makeup here.

There's an Inglot store in Times Square. Everything there is pretty afforable, and the eyeshadow is very pigmented. You get a good amount of makeup for the price. A friend told me to try Jouer, but I think I should read the reviews first. :)
